Variety reports that Universal has signed a deal to turn BioShock into a movie. Director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) will head the project and Aviator writer John Logan may write the screenplay. Take-Two executive chairman Strauss Zelnick, who was in charge of Fox in the '90s, handled the deal for his company and says the project will actually get made ... unlike the Halo movie.

There's also an interview with Verbinski on Variety's Cut Scene blog where he discusses the project. He believes the movie will be rated "R" and says, in terms of the Little Sisters, that he'll take the issue "right up to the edge," not wanting the core audience to feel "betrayed." Though no release date is currently targeted, Verbinski says he'll start pre-production when Logan's script is finished and approved.

for those who've never played the game, here's a short trailer that is very interesting.

I liked the game and beat it once. For some reason never felt compelled to play the game again. I have trouble imagining it becoming a movie but I'd see it eventually maybe when the DVD comes out.

a very intresting plot, or i thought so. Andrew Ryan, if played by a good actor, could be as compelling as the Joker.
